Anyone else notice they in the lore reworks these two no longer manufactured their weapons themselves (or modified from a golem in Vi's case)? They mention Vi having modifications on her gauntlets after she gets the hextech ones but it isn't clear if she did it herself.
Just curious as to why the decision was made to change it that way and discussing what others think!
I don't think Caitlyn ever had made her gun so nothing new there.
Vi on the other hand did lose something from her skillset. My guess for why it was kind of removed is that the pool of champions with that skill is now getting kind of crowded. Vi has other skills that can be focused on so there isn't a lot of need for her to have something that would cloud her character and lower the value of what makes some other champs special.
I think thats because it never really made sense for Vi to be able to modify these golem gauntlets.
After all Vi,never really worked for a mechanic as far as we know,it really seemed like she was just given engineering skills because she is a piltover champ and appearantly everyone in piltover is a mechanical genius.
Also I am pretty sure that the engineer part of her lore was only a leftover from Vis initial concept,that was a female engineer(which they later tried to do again,only this time it turned into Braum)
Probably for the same reason they removed Ezreal's innate ability to do magic.
